5/6 have been very excited to welcome Laura back to our class after her big trip around Australia last term. They have been very interested in where the family went and what they saw so we decided to map out Laura's trip. First we wrote a list of all the towns/major places they visited. We then located these places on Google Maps and Atlases and plotted them onto a blank map of Australia. After doing this, we then calculated the distances between each town, then lastly calculated the total distance of Laura's trip. This has been a fun activity with plenty of discussion of the amazing places Laura was lucky to visit.
